I love Xwindows now that I have XFree86-2.0 running on top of
NetBSD-0.9, but I am puzzling over something that should be simple.

Every time I start up an xterm, I have to type stty erase ^H in each one
to get the backspace key to work properly. I should be able to put this
command in some config file to have it executed for each xterm.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks for any help or hints.
